My choice of inspiration for my final project is the ocean, however it is not only ocean but different parts and form of the ocean. The surface sea, the deep sea marine snow, the great waves of the sea, and the blue ice in the arctic ocean. The ocean is beautiful, the colours, the form, the texture it is able to encapsulate.

TextureBoard

The four technique I chose for my final texture board are Resin, Knitting, Bleaching and Thermoplastic.

Resin

The mold for the resin is created using vacuum forming technique, where pieces of circular wood cut using laser cut are stacked together, and then on top of that several marbles are placed to create bumps.

The resin is mixed with J. Herbin Emerald of Chivor Ink to create this emerald colour which resembles the ocean colour. Fountain pen ink is chosen instead of acrylic to produce a more transparent outcome.

The final piece shine beautifully under light to mimic the form of ocean.

Knitting

Transparent/Translucent tube are being used for this technique.

The tube is first filled 80% with water, and then one end was sealed with hot glue gun. Next, ink was dripped into the tube and then the tube was filled up with more water, leaving some empty spaces to allow for bending and prevent the tube from bursting when knitting. Then the other end was also sealed. This method allow a gradient of colour to form within the tube.

The final outcome is this piece of knitting, where a blue gradient can be seen, and water flow within it. Encapsulating the idea of water.

Bleaching

A piece of denim cloth was twisted and folded, and then sprayed with bleach.

The final outcome resembles the look of deep sea and the space.

Thermoplastic

Many pieces of wood was tied to the light blue organza, and boiled to create this angular form.

The final outcome shines under light, and resembles the shape of ice caps.
